Nothing to figure out -- when you turn geek mode back on, you get the
geek mode configuration screen, with your geek settings marked.

I'm talking about what the functionality of the "advanced" button
should do. When it's off, you're in "non-advanced" mode, and simply
get the normal application interfaces. When it's in "advanced" (I
followed the lead of a prior poster and called it "geek" mode) you're
monitoring whatever you've configued advanced mode to monitor.
